Will you miss not seeing the Class 1A Division II state high school basketball championships being hosted at Gross Memorial Coliseum on the campus of Fort Hays State University this year? (FHSU and KSHSAA has decided to relocate this year's tournament to Dodge City since the FHSU women have the possibility of hosting an NCAA Division II regional tourney.)

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- The University of Kansas has hired a new president and chief operating officer for its Bioscience and Technology Business Center.

The university announced Wednesday that G.R. Underwood has taken the position after working as CEO for a company spun out of the University of Texas that specialized in software for the oil and gas industry.

The Lawrence Journal-World (http://bit.ly/1fWEOSv) reports Underwood served as vice president of client services for the Lawrence Regional Technology Center from 2007 to 2010.

Underwood has a master's degree in business administration from the University of Oklahoma.

The center provides offices, lab space and professional services for startups and small companies in the area.
